FLOH - Tacida Dean
The photographs presented in Floh were discovered by Tacita Dean at flea markets across Europe and America. These portraits, vacation snaps, documents illustrating banal events or spectacular views have all been salvaged and given a new existence. They retain the anonymity of the flea market, but are rescued here to become works of art. Flo is beautifully printed in a linen cover with slipcase, and each copy of the book is signed and numbered by the artist. Dean eventually stopped frequenting flea markets for fear of finding an image that "should have been in the book", but then decided that there could never be a definitive version of this collection.
Signed and numbered copy.
